If you are unable to print the Signature Page...

Save the application and print it from a computer that has access to a printer, or do not print the signature page and wait until we send you a Student Aid Report (SAR). You must then sign and send back the SAR so we can process the application. This option is not recommended since it will take the longest amount of time to process the application. You can also sign the application electronically later if you have a PIN. You should go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and select "Sign Electronically With Your PIN" under the Filling Out a FAFSA section to sign with a PIN.

If you are unable to print a Copy of Your Application Information...

Select the Save button. Review the application information online carefully. The application will be saved for 45 days or until the federal application/correction deadline date, during which time you will be able to return to it from any computer to attempt to print again. (Select Application Deadline Dates on the home page to see the federal application/correction deadline dates).

If you are unable to print the Confirmation Page...

You must write down the confirmation number and keep it for your records.
